On Understanding Algorithm Comprehension and Development
Philipp Kather · 2019
Comprehending and developing algorithms are very common activities in computer science and other studies. But what does it mean to comprehend an algorithm? Why are students creating flawed algorithms with correct proofs? And what does it take to comprehend or create an algorithm? Through my dissertation work I want to gain understanding about these processes. By using mixed methods I hope to contribute to finding answers to those questions.
